My first thought was that converting a theatre to a hen house was a wee bit extravagant. ;-)

My children are bullying me to convert an old 20'x12', deep litter henhouse to a *playbarn for the grand children*!

If you don't fancy the job you could tell them about histoplasmosis and suggest you'd not feel safe for the grandkids to use it unless you burnt it down first?

Er chicken restaurant, not hen house..

My first thought was 'Playhouse isn't a Blues Band I have heard of'...

WIKI==========================================================

A chicken shack is a restaurant that primarily serves chicken.

The term may also refer to:

What is isn't, is a hen house.

Nice job by the way Bill...

[Bill Wright]

Thank you. It was good fun, and killed two birds, as it were. The playhouse was disused -- indeed it had rarely if ever been used because the kids prefer to play in the real house where there's fast wifi -- and the old chicken shack was falling to bits. As a conscientious landlord I decided to demolish and rebuild. The tenants are now very happy and who knows they might lay an egg one day...

Mine are absolute bird brains.

Do chickens lay eggs? If so, when does a chicken become a hen? ;-)

When she's of legal age to meet Mr Cockerel and get a ring on her foot.

They might prefer it to be a bit darker in the nest box.
